Using cycles with a lower spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.
Washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet
load for balanced spinning. Select RINSE/DRAIN & SPIN to
remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading
recommendations.
